Well, in some ways it's probably good that I can't get the larger games working on my Linux system, as I have more time for other things... But sometimes it would be nice to be able to fire up a few of the games...

...I never have music on in strategy games. I have my own soundtrack; Mostly educational audiotapes from the Teaching Company (shameless plug :D ). No, nor do I. I don't like any of the music in any games! I also can't abide sound affects! I just have the radio on (BBC Radio 6 streamed off the inte...

I also took the risk and purchased Espana 1936, and it falls over into great big heaps with both Wine and Virtualbox! VB doesn't get beyond loading 86% textures, and Wine just falls over, get an error message and then it just loops. Ho hum. Will really have to look at Vmware I think... However. comp...

Oh well. completely different hardware to mine, but I'm not sure how that helps! ROP almost works with WINE, but won't process a turn. I get an error message that says it can't access due to the OS locking the files...? And WIA falls over in a complete heap before even getting to the Game menu. I ca...

?? I'm using currently a Linux Mint 14 with a basic Wine from its default repositories and it's going well (checked Windows 7 emulation). A little more slow to run the turn/AI than with MS/Windows, but it's still OK. Maybe it's your hardware ? Yeah, well, I'm running Linux Mint 14 too, perhaps it i...

Tried various mods to the WINE configuration (including Win 98, 7 & 8 emulation) to no avail, and various other mods. Tried various set-ups in the AGE config, also with no success. Oh well. Looks like I won't be able to play the game, which is a real shame. It looks great, and I think it has been im...

I don't know about virtual box, but running RUS or ROP with Wine, i had the same graphical problems untill i told Wine to emulate a Windows 7 instead of a default Windows XP. With WINE I couldn't even see the units on the map! Virtual Box looks fine, though it keeps falling over in a heap. Have det...

I've been trying to play the game in an XP VirtualBox under Linux. It's been working quite well, up to when I have a battle when it gives up the ghost. Can't find the log files, to see what errors have been produced, have they moved? I tried a couple of the battle scenarios, the first ran okay, but ...

Well I played a couple of turns of the New Mexico scenario, only to find that none of the units actually appeared on the map! I could build units, and see the units in the new panel without issues. It did take me a couple of turns before I noticed that something wasn't quite right! However, I instal...

Oh ! An other free man in this MS/Windows Gaming World :w00t: ! I do play RUS or ROP with Mint or Ubuntu GNU/LinuX systems, using Wine. But i still didn't try with ACW2. :confused: I took the plunge and bought it anyway. I installed it under WINE, and fired it up, and played one turn and it seems o...

I haven't played much since last year when I self-built a new PC and installed Linux Mint on it (my old PC still works, albeit very very slowly, and have needed a new PC for a few years but kept putting off buying a new one because I was sick of Microsoft, and didn't want to spend any money on buyin...

Yes, it would be nice. I've been playing as the Russians and have reached 1856 and the war doesn't even look likely at the moment... It would be nice to see a whole bunch of scenarios for the various wars of the time... (things like the 1870's Russo Turkish War would be good too - S&T had a game of ...

I used to play the original pre-Avalon Hill version of the boardgame Kingmaker when I was in college with a group of male and female graduate students who knew their history and knew their Shakespeare. Best gaming experience of my life, though I would never describe Kingmaker as a wargame simulatio...

I fired PON up in a window last evening and it hasn't crashed since, so I dunno what's going on (though last thing last night I also followed your suggestion and put the PON directory into my AV exceptions file).

I realise it's probably a bit too niche, but I would really like to see a game of The English Civil War! And you could use the same maps for the War of the Roses too, though whether the AGEOD system would work that far back I would be interested to find out.

I like PON a lot, but I seem to be getting the attached error(s) more and more frequently as the game goes on (playing as the Russians and am just about up to 1854), and it is beginning to become unplayable. It hasn't been happening every turn, but it has happened 2 of the last 3 now. Is it some sor...

I think he just means that the Tech Support thread there is hidden if you aren't logged in. It's a common question when people are trying to find the patch. Sounds like you are logged in (you're getting the link) but the link doesn't work. EDIT: I'm getting the same 404 error message. Thx. But yes,...
